Was that the game V Palermo? (pink strip)
If it was they were awful, they got torn apart in the first half and Leonardo took the left back off at half time and Pazzini on, he scored 2 and they won 3-2 in the end with Eto'o getting a penalty.
They were awful in the first half and for most of the second, if that Inter team played like that against an English team they would be ripped to bits.
Nah, that was the weekend, that new signing also scored tonight, though apparently Chivu full on punched someone in the face, off the ball but its expected he'll get a decent ban for it because it was on camera, just missed by the ref at the time. They won 3-0 to, Bari, someone bottom of the table, cba'd to check.
Everyone puts in bad performances, thing is Inter have the players, the experience and the form of champions, look at Utd, winning while playing crap and every so often when playing well also
An almost 13 point turn around, in a single month is ruddy immense though, 6 wins and one draw in 7 games, frankly with a, 48 in a row title winning Inter side almost any manager should be safely in the top couple and certainly not 13 points + a game extra player.
Anyway as for Hollaway as said, he offered to resign, its playing up to the media, most managers do it in one way or another, he's generally funny when he does it.
As for Adam's most players AND managers get bonuses for league position, titles, lots of other targets. Its not surprising a targets for Holloway would be set as money for staying up, probably more the higher up the table he managers to get and financial bonuses based on how well the club does in that area also.
It also sounded like he'd get more money the more they got for Adams, not that he'd specifically get a cut, I read it as he gets a bonus at various points if the club makes a profit.
Either way, Adam's has played like a player worth well more than 10million and they had no incentive to sell at all. Look at the wages the Blackpool players are on, selling Adams is ONE part of the puzzle, bringing in a replacement, well how many players can you buy for 5-10million as a replacement, where you can negotiate sub 10 or 20k a week wages....... none. They bring in one replacement at 25k a week and their wage structure is blown completely, every single last player will want 25k a week, then the top scorer will want 40k a week, etc, etc, etc.
Based on the fact that Liverpool, Spurs, supposedly Utd and a couple other clubs all wanted Adam's asking for over 10mil isn't even close to over the top, and the longer term implications on the club would cost vastly vastly more than whatever money they can get for him. 14mil wouldn't be close to an unfair price. Don't forget Liverpool were essentially unsettling the player, a 4mil bid, then several ones lower than they've hinted would be accepted, most clubs don't take kindly to weeks of bids, at 4-6mil vastly vastly undervalued, trying to unsettle the player.
If anyones to blame its Liverpool for trying to unsettle him, Chelsea bid 40mil for Torres, they told them the price, they came back with that price, in a few days and it was over.
